[0036] This utility model proposes an intelligent control ball 100.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the intelligent control ball 100 includes a base 1, a camera 2, a gas sensing mechanism, a dust sensor 4, an alarm mechanism 5, and a controller; the camera 2 is movably mounted on the base 1; the gas sensing mechanism is mounted on the side wall of the base 1; the dust sensor 4 is mounted on the side wall of the base 1 and is spaced apart from the gas sensing mechanism in the vertical direction; the alarm mechanism 5 is mounted on the base 1; the controller is mounted inside the base 1, and the camera 2, the gas sensing mechanism, the dust sensor 4, and the alarm mechanism 5 are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0038] In the technical solution of this utility model, the dust sensor 4 and the gas sensing mechanism can accurately and in real time acquire data on dust concentration and harmful gas concentration in the work area, providing comprehensive and crucial information support for work safety assessment. When the dust or harmful gas concentration reaches the danger threshold, the alarm mechanism 5 can promptly remind the workers to take countermeasures, minimizing the risk of safety accidents such as dust explosions and ensuring the safety of personnel and the normal operation of equipment.

[0039] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The base 1 has a mounting cavity formed on its side wall, within which the gas sensing mechanism and dust sensor 4 are spaced vertically. The intelligent control ball 100 also includes an outer cover 6, which covers the mounting cavity and has multiple air inlets. By placing the gas sensing mechanism and dust sensor 4 within the mounting cavity on the side wall of the base 1 and enabling gas exchange through the multiple air inlets on the outer cover 6, this design ensures that the sensor can effectively detect the gas and dust conditions in the external environment while avoiding direct exposure of the sensor to complex operating environments. This reduces the risk of sensor performance degradation or failure due to dust pollution, mechanical damage, or environmental interference, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data. The outer cover 6 provides excellent protection for the gas sensing mechanism and dust sensor 4 within the mounting cavity. In special scenarios such as confined space operations, the on-site environment is often harsh and may contain moisture, oil, corrosive gases, or other impurities. The outer cover 6 can effectively prevent these harmful substances from directly contacting the sensor, extend the service life of the sensor, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the intelligent deployment ball 100 in harsh environments.

[0040] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 The gas sensing mechanism includes multiple gas sensors 3, all housed within the mounting cavity. These multiple gas sensors 3 can simultaneously monitor various gases, meeting the multi-gas monitoring needs of complex work environments and preventing the omission of harmful gases. Integrated within the mounting cavity, the structure is compact, reducing space occupation, improving equipment integration, and enhancing overall integrity and portability.

[0041] In one embodiment, the gas detection mechanism includes at least one of an oxygen sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, a hydrogen sulfide sensor, or a combustible gas sensor.

[0042] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 2The controller has a first communication interface, which is exposed on the base 1. The intelligent deployment ball 100 also includes a UWB positioning base station 7, which is detachably connected to the base 1. The UWB positioning base station 7 has a second communication interface, which is electrically connected to the first communication interface. When the intelligent deployment ball 100 and the UWB positioning base station 7 are combined, it is equivalent to a mobile positioning base station. In complex work sites such as confined spaces, the intelligent deployment ball 100 can be moved flexibly to achieve full coverage of positioning signals. At the same time, through the electrical connection between the second communication interface and the first communication interface, data transmission between the UWB positioning base station 7 and the controller can be realized. The controller can integrate its own data and the data of the UWB positioning base station 7 and transmit them uniformly to the display device, simplifying the data link, improving transmission efficiency and stability, and reducing the risk of data loss. The UWB positioning base station 7 is equipped with a magnetic component, which can magnetically attract the base 1. The base 1 is equipped with a positioning protrusion, and the UWB positioning base station 7 is equipped with a positioning groove, into which the positioning protrusion can be inserted and confined.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The intelligent deployment ball 100 also includes multiple antennas 16, which are spaced apart along the periphery of the base 1. The antennas 16 can cooperate with the UWB positioning base station 7 to enhance the positioning capability of the UWB positioning base station 7.

[0044] For improved convenience, please refer to one embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 The intelligent deployment ball 100 also includes a power display screen 8, which is located on the base 1 and spaced vertically from the UWB positioning base station 7. The power display screen 8 clearly shows the remaining power of the intelligent deployment ball 100, allowing operators to monitor the device's power status at any time. This facilitates timely charging or power replacement, preventing the device from stopping mid-operation due to insufficient power, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the intelligent deployment ball 100 during operation, and improving work efficiency.

[0045] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 4 The intelligent surveillance ball 100 also includes a battery assembly 9, which is housed within the base 1. The battery assembly 9 comprises a mounting bracket and a battery. The mounting bracket is located within the base 1, and the battery is housed within the mounting bracket. Multiple slotted holes on the mounting bracket facilitate heat dissipation for the battery. The battery assembly 9 enables the intelligent surveillance ball 100 to have independent power supply capabilities, eliminating its dependence on a fixed power source. The slotted hole design on the mounting bracket provides excellent heat dissipation channels for the battery, effectively reducing heat accumulation during operation and extending battery life.

[0046] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 2The intelligent surveillance ball 100 also includes an external battery 10, which is detachably connected to the base 1. The external battery 10 provides additional power, extending the continuous working time of the intelligent surveillance ball 100, especially suitable for long-term operation scenarios. When the external battery 10 runs out of power, the internal battery of the intelligent surveillance ball 100 can immediately take over power supply, preventing equipment downtime. When the external battery 10 is replaced, the internal battery of the intelligent surveillance ball 100 continues to provide power, ensuring the normal operation of the intelligent surveillance ball 100, uninterrupted data acquisition and monitoring, and no impact on the work process. Furthermore, the external battery 10 can be flexibly configured according to the duration and intensity of the operation. For short-term operations, only the internal battery can be used; for long-term operations, the external battery 10 can be added. In this embodiment, the external battery 10 is a V-port battery.

[0047] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The intelligent surveillance ball 100 also includes a rotating frame 11, which is rotatably mounted on the base 1, and the camera 2 is rotatably mounted on the rotating frame 11. In actual operation, the orientation and angle of the camera 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to monitoring needs, quickly focusing on key work areas or personnel activity ranges, improving the targeting and effectiveness of monitoring.

[0048] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 2 The intelligent surveillance sphere 100 also includes a temperature sensor 12 electrically connected to the controller. The temperature sensor 12 is mounted on the camera 2, and both the temperature sensor 12 and the camera 2 face the same side. When the camera 2 monitors the site, the temperature sensor 12 can detect the ambient temperature or detect a specific piece of equipment. When the detected ambient temperature exceeds the standard operating temperature for human workers or the standard operating temperature for equipment, the temperature sensor 12 sends a signal to the controller to trigger an alarm. Similarly, when the detected equipment temperature exceeds the rated temperature for stable operation, the temperature sensor 12 also sends a signal to the controller to trigger an alarm. This design prevents workers from operating in high-temperature environments and prevents equipment from continuing to operate under dangerous conditions, thus improving the reliability of site monitoring, preventing further deterioration of dangerous situations, and enhancing site safety.

[0049] In one embodiment of this utility model, the alarm mechanism 5 is an audible and visual alarm mechanism 5, which emits a buzzing sound and a bright light when an alarm is triggered. Specifically, the alarm mechanism 5 includes a buzzer and an alarm light.

[0050] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to... Figure 2The camera 2 is also equipped with an infrared light 13 and a laser light 14, both facing the same side as the camera 2. Both are electrically connected to the controller. In low-light conditions, the infrared light 13 assists the camera 2 in capturing images, ensuring clearer video. The laser light 14 emits a laser beam to pinpoint the location of objects in front of the camera 2. This configuration ensures clear image capture even in poor lighting conditions.

[0051] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 The intelligent surveillance ball 100 also includes an image transmission board 17, which is installed inside the base 1 and electrically connected to the controller. After the camera 2 takes a picture, the image transmission board 17 can transmit the picture to the administrator's computer via wireless signal, enabling the administrator to obtain the situation on site in a timely manner.

[0052] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 The intelligent surveillance ball 100 also includes handles 15, which are located at the end of the base 1 facing the camera 2.
